Hi Kj, I put Venetian plaster down first, then oil paint and ink, drawing, then last and the most fun I pour paint over it and let it run, then sand it. For the black and white I poured ink then scratched into it after it dried. I am not sure if I will be doing large paintings like this, I am still doing my other work, but I always need to mix it up and try other things. xoxo
You are exploring new territory here, Annie! I especially like the middle one, with the white paint. I wish I could see them in person, as I can tell there are lots of layers, and would like to see them in depth!
Thanks Sharmon, like all my work there are indeed layers, at least 3, so much less than the 15 on the paintings, but still always there. The middle one is my favorite so far. xoxo
I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.

Lovely work Annie. The 3rd one reminded me of crop circles, and ancient engraved marks on stone.
Thank you Melanie. xoxo
